Notes on Chipware:
Skillchips, also called
Chipware, can be purchased at three different levels, granting
different levels of aptitude at the skill. MRAM chipware can be
used immediately upon insertion, whereas APTR chips require a
"warming up" period to adjust to the user's physiology,
as well as the user becoming more practiced with the chip's
contents. The character's attributes are always applied to the
skill roll, as with normal skills. It is important to note that
Chipware is extremely limited when compared to the real skill:
chipware's only as good as the programming, and is completely
unadaptable -- the real skill allows you to improvise while the
skillchip can't. Additionally, while a skillchip is in use, it
overrides all existing skill (with respect to a given
specialization, if listed) completely -- Having a Level 3
skillchip in Small Arms (Handguns) won't help you if you've
already got a Level 2 (or 3) Small Arms skill. Lastly, while a
skill chip is in use, you don't learn the skill at all --
The GM should not award any experience towards the skill, and
disallow the expenditure of XPs towards any chipped skill (while
it's in use).
Skillchip Levels:
Skillchips are available in 3
levels, of which only the highest-grade is comparable to a Level
1 skill. Level 1 Skillchips roll 1d6-2 (minimum of 1 on a
non-fumble). Level 2 chips roll 1d6-1, and Level 3 chips roll
1d6. The minimum die result is a 1, so long as the roll wasn't a
fumble (natural roll of 1).
| Level | Dieroll |
| 1 | 1d6-2 |
| 2 | 1d6-1 |
| 3 | 1d6 |
| Minimum result is a 1 (not including fumbles). A natural roll of 1 is still a fumble. | |
